Elias heard a muffled argument coming from down the hall. He really didn't care who it was. He was not in his happy place. He thought it was about him and Winter. They hadn't really shown who's side that they were on. He hated the Empire, and Winter did too, but people were scared of them because of where they were from and what they could do. Elias braced himself in case something broke out that he had to stop…

Hi-5 humphed, repairing some wires. "I don't like Shiloh."
"Why's that? Don't tell me, you don't trust her."
"Yeah, she didn't really explain how she managed to read our lips from across a cantina."
"And I should be worried because…?"
She shrugged. "I don't know."
"Well how do you feel about the Hothians."
"They're fine I guess. Clearly against the Empire."
"So you don't know if you can trust Shiloh because you aren't sure about her alliances? She killed a couple of troopers 5."
"Has the Empire really cared really cared about expandable soldiers?"

"True." Essar said.
"If it makes you happy, I'll trust them for now. Since we seem to be a team." Hi-5 shut the panel and got up.
"So does this make us rebels again Essar?"

Elias was on his bunk, staring into nothingness, when the argument stopped. He didn't care. He just wanted to feel safe for once in his life, and not to be the one that someone looked to.

"I don't like Shiloh." It was Hi-5, obviously
"Why's that? Don't tell me, you don't trust her." Essar.
Shiloh left. She didn't want to hear the rest of it. She found Winter already in her bunk. "Um… hey." Shiloh sat down in the bunk across from her.
(I'm thinking that the bunks are like this, with the door in the opening: |_|)

Winter was thinking. She never trusted herself. She never believed in herself. Maybe that's why she didn't have fear. She had nothing to prove, and nothing to lose, if she failed. She looked up to see Shiloh walking into the bunk room. She put on a smile. "Hey. How's your arm? We never formally met, so I thought maybe we could get to know each other better? You know, like talk? I'm sorry if I sound so awkward. I really haven't talked to a girl since I was 12. I had nobody to talk to for 6 years on that planet, well until, two months ago, when I found Elias. So, please tell me about yourself Shiloh."

"True." Essar said.
"If it makes you happy, I'll trust them for now. Since we seem to be a team." Hi-5 shut the panel and got up.
"So does this make us rebels again Essar?"

Essar sighed. "What do you mean 5?"
"You know."
"Clearly I don't. Our jobs technically make us rebels."
"Are we joining up with the alliance again?"
"No!" Essar shook his head. "Not after what happened. 'Sides we technically went AWOL."

"Oh, me first?" Shiloh thought. "Um…" She bit her lip. "Well, I'm a mechanic. I've been good with parts and technology since I was little. I used to live on Endor and now I'm here," she said. She moaned and closed her eyes. "I'm sorry, I've never been good at interacting with other living beings before."

Winter smiled, "Hey, don't sweat it. I haven't talked to a female in six years. You're the first. Anyway, I'm from Hoth as you can see. I was trained to fight since I knew how to walk. We really didn't have anything that was extra there on Hoth. We only carried what we really needed. I have never known having too much. I was the daughter of a clan leader, until he was killed, and my entire family with him. Life for me has been weird, and then I have nightmares. Not like normal nightmares that fade when you wake up, these feel real, and they don't fade.They are always about what happened back on Hoth the night I ran and fled…"

Winter blushed. "I'm sorry. That was a little heavy. I just needed to tell someone, anyone. I haven't told Elias yet, and I really don't want to. I trust you more with my past than him. I think you understand this more right now, and he doesn't because he's worrying about my safety. I just needed to tell someone, to get it off of my chest…"

Essar sighed. "What do you mean 5?"
"You know."
"Clearly I don't. Our jobs technically make us rebels."
"Are we joining up with the alliance again?"
"No!" Essar shook his head. "Not after what happened. 'Sides we technically went AWOL."

Hi-5 sighed. "It's not your fault you know."
"Yes I do know! It's General Draven's fault. He didn't like that I was 'distracted' by my wife and kid."

Shiloh put her hand on Winter's wrist. Instantly, the cold seized her palm, but she tried not to notice. Comforting Winter was more important than a little frostbite. "My… my family… my family on… Ryloth…" Shiloh stopped. She'd never been so emotionally forward before, not including her snappy temper, but her wide golden eyes filled with tears and she withdrew her hand to wipe them away. "I'm sorry…" she whispered.

Winter heard Essar say from the hallway something about being distracted about his wife and kid… Her hearing was really good. She knew she shouldn't go see what was up, but she had to try to help Essar out as best as she could. She looked at Shiloh, "Excuse me for a moment. I'll be right back." Winter got up, and walked into the hall until she was right at the door Essar was behind. "Essar, are you all right? You sound kind of angry… Is there anything that I could do to help?"

Winter whispered, "If I can't help Essar, I need to go back to Shiloh.."

Essar heard Winter's voice from the other side of the door. "I'm fine Winter, thanks for asking."

WInter knew something was up. She asked a little more gently, "Are you sure Essar? I have time… I understand a lot of things. Being alone for six years gave me plenty of time to think, and reflect on things…"

Essar sighed. He had nothing against Winter, but still, he had just met her. Hi-5 shook her head. He sighed again. Hell, why not talk? He made to open the door. Hi-5 shook her head more vigorously. He winked at her before opening the door. "Fine, c'mon in Winter."
(Gtg go make frosting. I'll be right back.)

Winter didn't think Essar would want to talk, even though he was opening the door to let her in. She walked in, thinking only of helping Essar.
